If offering the opinion to the attractive woman would have cast you in a bad light, why is this post not casting you in a bad light?

As for you, Josh, I can only infer that your parents did not allow you to read MAD magazine as a youth, which was a failing of theirs, and that you never read any of their classic numbers as an adult, which is a failing of yours.

Anthropologist trick: You can always keep a one-sided conversation going by repeating the last few words the other person said with a rising, questioning inflection, which encourages them to elaborate on their previous statement without you having to really react to whatever they said.

If you use this trick in social settings, eventually the other person will say something to which you actually have a response you want to share, and voila, you have changed the subject to something you want to talk about.
